BERLIN, July 30.-Instead of the Russian
government ceasing its war on German COM
merce as promised by Ambassador Schou-
yaloff fresh measures paralyzing the trad
ingmeasures are either impendingo or already
in operation. Under Ambassador Schouva-
lofts assurances, the crusade against Russian
stocks ceased. During the week Russian Sc
curities have been neither bought nor
sold but the anti ti-Russian feeling
again excited by fresh display of
hostility on the part of the st. Petersburg
ngovernment will not be allayed until some
practical check is given to the systematic
persecution of Germans by Russia. Not
cnly have the interests of the financial com
munity been threatened but the Govern
ment has also sustained an afPront
in the reception of communications
sent to ST. Petersburg, aiming at friendier
relations. Gen. Won Schweinitz acting under
instructions from Prince Bismarck, made
overtures to Prince De Giers, the Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, suggesting a
modification of the ordinary operation of
the ukase affecting foreigners holding land
in Russia.
CURT REPLIES.
NJ DeGiers, after ministerial council
replied that the law upon which the imperial
ukase was based could not be modified nor
its operation delayed. At the same time ne
coti&tions, the object of which was to OBJ
tain a special exception in the cases of
Princes Radziwill and Hohenlohe, and other
German dgnitaries who are land owners in
Western Russia, met with curt rejection
The same ministerial council drew up in
structOus which were sent to the heads of
all the State departments to report
what foreigners were carrying on work
within the empire, whether, as owners or
employees, and what was their nationality
The design of these instructions became
known in Berlin yesterday with the ap-
pOintment of a commission, the sole purpose
Of which is to extirpate the German traders
and the German people in the Baltic and
western provinces.
The st Petersburg Cabinet has thus sue
ceeded in affronting and offending highly
placed dignitaries, and the whole German
commercial world.
FRONTIER ANNOYANCES
Russian otficialism shows similar spirit
to that of the Ministry, an instance of which
is the revival of the frontier law, which had
long since lapsed, under which persons
cluSSing the frontier are not permitted to
carry German coinage of a denomina-
ton less than a thaler or gold
money. All travellers holding PIussian
Landrath passports are obliged to show the
pu.SioY, frcutsa,. ,bn+
age they possess, and are not allowed to
take into Russia anything less than thaler
pieces. If the intention of the Russian
government be to further eXasperate Ger
many and compel her to adopt more active
relallatory measures, it has been fully ac-
c0mplished. The measures which the ReichS-
bank had under consideration to prevent
Uerman investment on Russian paper, and
which was dropped under a promise of the
restoration of harmonious relations, are
again under discussion, and it is expected
TINT the result will be absolute exclusion of

Means will be taken by the Reichsbank in
conjunction with the great financial houses
Tor the gradual elimination of Russian Sc
cuiltleS, while the government will prepare
retaIatory fiscal measures which will be
presented at the opening of the Reichstag.
